Benthic pelagic coupling in a shallow oligotrophic ecosystem : Importance of microphytobenthos and physical forcing

In coral reef lagoons, microphytobenthos (MPB) primary production can be of the same order of magnitude as coral or macroalgal production. As they are situated in oligotrophic waters, sediments receive low amount of allochtonous nutrients, and their ...

Different behavioural strategies among seven highly invasive ant species

Ants figure prominently among the worst invasive species because of their enormous ecological and economic impacts. However, it remains to be investigated which species would be behaviourally dominant when confronted with another invasive ant species...

Recent species in old Islands : the origin of introduced populations of Litoria aurea (Anura : Hylidae) in New Caledonia and Wallis

New Caledonia is a megadiverse tropical island in the southwest Pacific, however, inhabited by only one species of amphibian, Litoria aurea (Hylidae). We used both molecular (CO1 and ND4 gene sequencing) and morphometric data to explore its geographi...

"Horizontal" and "vertical" diffusion : the cumulative influence of Impact and Benefit Agreements (IBAs) on mining policy-production in New Caledonia

The scale, duration and intensity of conflicts over mineral resources vary greatly. However, they always involve, in varying proportions, the triad stakeholder model corporation, state, community each element of which is internally heterogeneous. Inc...

Inferring savannah-rainforest boundary dynamics from vegetation structure and composition : a case study in New Caledonia

A direct consequence of deforestation and forest fragmentation in the tropics is the increased importance of boundaries between forest fragments and savannahs. These boundaries are critical zones for understanding the dynamics of savannahs and forest...

Monodominance at the rainforest edge: case study of Codia mackeeana (Cunoniaceae) in New Caledonia

Monodominance is unexpected in tropical forests, which usually exhibit rich and diverse flora. Mechanisms leading to monodominant forest are commonly discussed within the theoretical framework of forest succession. One of the central issues for manag...

What revegetation method will restore the biodiversity of old mine sites in New Caledonia;Deuxième conférence internationale sur l'écologie des mil...

New Caledonia is renowned for its floristic diversity and high level of endemism. Outcrops of ultramafic rock, the origin of nickel ore, cover 1/3 of the Grand Terre (main island) and possess a highly diverse flora (1800 species of phanerogams of whi...

Rain-derived particles and CDOM distribution along the east coast of New Caledonia

Shortly after strong rains or tropical storms, chlorophyll-a concentration (Chla), turbidity, and colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in the lagoon of New Caledonia may be tripled. This effect is visible as far as 50 km offshore. The Eastern Coas...

Intermediate water flows in the western South Pacific : as revealed by individual Argo floats trajectories and a model re-analysis

Thanks to the autonomous Argo floats of the OUTPACE cruise (Oligotrophy to UlTra-oligotrophy PACific Experiment) and of the THOT (TaHitian Ocean Time series) project, some features of intermediate-flow dynamics, at around 1000 m depth, within the cen...

Impact of Austropuccinia psidii in New Caledonia, a biodiversity hotspot

Myrtle rust, caused by the fungus Austropuccinia psidii, infects a wide range of host species within the Myrtaceae family worldwide. Since its first report in 2013 from New Caledonia, the extent of the host range, geographical distribution and geneti...
